Mali Vegan Thai Restaurant in Kensington and Chelsea

Wow!! The BEST VEGAN PAD THAI!! The dessert was also a delicious cultural experience. Stunning!!

Super cute restaurant with a lot of choice of delicious food and very nice staff :) would recommend

Really delicious dishes and kind service :^D

had the vegan pad thai and butterfly pea flower iced tea. no complaints, service was nice, food came out pretty quickly.

Easily the best thai food i’ve had ever and i’ve spent 2 months in thailand. PLEASE bring back the sizzling vegan fish dish to the menu PLEASE 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Great tasting vegan Thai food, a bit expensive for what it was, but hey...

The absolute best Thai food I've ever had. Truly authentic, just like I had in Thailand. The red curry with beef in particular was outstanding - perfectly balanced, aromatic and flavorful, creamy but not too rich. They actually use palm sugar and kaffir lime. The vegan beef was identical to actual beef. Incredible. Would have it for my last meal. The pad thai was also the only authentic pad thai i've had outside of Thailand. Spot on.

Excellent staff, excellent dishes excellent atmosphere. Absolutely worth trying. Authentic flavors, totally vegan.

Brilliant service, so quick! Delicious food. Gean was great with ideas of food dishes. Its my regular place now and I am not even a vegan!

I enjoyed it, even though I'm not vegetarian. The imitation beef was amazing. I recommend.

Great spot for vegans. Yummy authentic thai food! The place is cute and staff is friendly,highly recommended!

been here a million times, amazing vegan thai food although the prices do keep creeping up - get the "fish" if you want to change your life!!

Hidden away, so almost missed it. Great service, friendly and accommadating to needs. Food was nice, would go back again.

Mali Thai Vegan is an absolute hidden gem! Whether you're vegan or not, the food here is so good it might just convert even the biggest meat-eaters. The flavours are bold, fresh, and authentic—every dish we tried was packed with spices and cooked to perfection. One of the standout dishes was the Kol Sai—an absolute must-try! The balance of flavours was just incredible, and you’d never guess it was fully plant-based. Another favourite was the Spicy Vegan Chicken Popcorn Salad—crispy, flavourful, and with just the right amount of heat. It's fresh, zesty, and totally addictive! The portion sizes are huge, so you definitely get great value for your money. Come hungry, because you won’t want to leave a single bite behind! The only slight miss for me was the Grilled Imaginary Calamari—it didn’t quite hit the mark in terms of texture and flavour. But honestly, with everything else being so perfect, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. The restaurant also has outdoor seating, which is perfect for a relaxed meal, and its dog-friendly outside, so you can bring your pup along while enjoying some delicious Thai food. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cosy yet vibrant. If you’re looking for seriously good vegan Thai food with generous portions, this is the place to go. Can’t wait to come back!

NOTE : I am not a vegan. Yet I STILL come here frequently! Delicious food that is presented really well. Loction is super convenient, right outside Earls Court tube. It’s a must try.

Delicious and unique food, great atmosphere and service. Highly recommend!

Amazing food! They have a special No onion no garlic menu that may be helpful for people who eat Jain food. All vegan restaurant! Chelsea provided great service!

Very delicious vegan food and friendly staff, what more could you ask for

We've been to this restaurant three times noon and evening and the food is always excellent . Various vegan Thai courses. The only cons I can tell is that the stuff is really upsetting, doesn't know how to respect the customers -we've made a reservation and when we come on time,they told us we need to wait "outside" in the cold freezing air ,While they let in people who just pop-in before us. This happened at all the times we were there,so if you don't care if rudeness or impolite behavior from the stuff then we'll enjoy a great meal

Had a great experience at Mali Vegan. Authentic Thai dishes with fresh ingredients. I can confirm that they have a separate menu in-house for those avoiding garlic and onion (and other aliums) Great service! No complaints . Really nice decor and atmosphere too ❤️

The food was very good and quickly at the table. The Pad Thai was particularly good, especially with the crispy fried tofu skins. However, the spicy vegan chicken popcorn was not spicy as the name of the dish would suggest. They were still tasty, good taste! The waitresses didn't seem to have much to do and stood around and we felt something being watched. But they were friendly and accommodating

We got a table without a reservation. The tables are very close to each other. Due to the many tables and the number of guests, it is also noisy. The food was OK. The iced tea that changes color was interesting and delicious.

They got rid of all their fish dishes! Their other dishes are good but the vegan fish dishes were next level, such a shame, it was the reason I kept coming back

It is a cozy and friendly atmosphere. I had a Por Pia Dok Mai and Pad Thai. They were delicious

Fast service, stunning tasty authentic vegan food and if you order it spicy it's actually spicy Edit: we went there for lunch two days later. This time I had the vegan kao soi noodle soup, and it was honestly even better than the first time and that was already exquisite.

Cosy restaurant, really friendly people and amazing vegan Thai food! We tried the fried tofu salad, the steamed aubergine, the kao soi (curry noodle soup) and vegan crispy pork stir fry - all equally delicious and standout. The flavours were incredible and ingredients fresh, spice levels were perfect for us - a kick but not too spicy. Loved it, already planning to go back and try other dishes ❤️

One of the best Vegan Thai restaurants ever. Lovely setting and great food and staff were just brilliant.

Great food, great service. Staff are friendly and quick service. Food is fresh and tasty. Would recommend.

What an exceptional place. We love all Asian cuisine but there's often limited veggie options or the usual things. Here they have expanded a meat free take on a fantastic range - every dish was beautiful and packed so much flavour. Will definitely be back

Delicious vegan Thai food - great variety of food, authentic flavours, and INCREDIBLY fast service. Literally the fastest I've ever had food come out, including fast food. Great value and so many fun vegan proteins!

My new favorite restaurant🤗 Beautiful location, very friendly waiters, fantastic food. Lots of GF dishes, Thanks🙏

A very cute and beautiful restaurant. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Even though we arrived just before the kitchen closed, they let us sit and enjoy the delicious food. I can highly recommend the Tom Kha Hed!

Amazing restaurant! Although I’m not vegan myself I really loved the food and will definitely go again soon! Pad Thai, musaman and the crispy duck in particular are delicious! Very cozy atmosphere too and reasonable prices!!

The first place I think of when asked for vegan recommendations in London, and on the shortlist when asked by non-vegans too.

I had a fantastic meal at Mali Vegan Thai Restaurant in London! The cozy, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. I tried the Pad Thai, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. If you're looking for authentic Thai flavors with a vegan twist, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

As a Thai, I can say this restaurant serves truly authentic Thai vegan food! Every dish I ordered was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and served quickly. The service was great, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

It is very good, more than I expected! Especially the first one, fried ravioli was exceptionally delicious! I do recommend to taste it first! It is really a suitable introduction of this restaurant’s high reputation, I believe.

Just ordered a couple of starters for takeaway during a hotel stay while touristing. They were in fact, incredibly tasty. Wish I knew how to cook like that at home.

We didn't try a lot but everything we ate was exceptionally good! The fried dumplings, mama je oat and namtok noodle are recommended. The atmosphere was very cute and comfy, and service was comparable to the speed of light :) overall 10/10.

We found this place by chance, walking through the streets near our hotel. We were pleasantly impressed by the courtesy of the staff, the speed with which the dishes arrived and the quantity of them (the price is justified by the quality and quantity). It is a little hidden, and for this reason also a little more "intimate" than the classic Thai restaurant. There is a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Advised.

Everything was delicious!!!I never order dessert because im to full but my partner ordered the Kluai Buad Chee and omg it was soooooooooooo good i ended up eating have of theirs :')

Top Thai restaurant with tasty authentic food and attentive service. Menu is all vegan and included milk tea (the boozy version was yummy too!). Booked in advance for the special menu Hot Pot, which was an amazing experience (see pics). 2 broths were given and a lot of vegetables, tofu, dumplings, sauces and 2 types of noodles. The crispy chive cakes as a starter were also delicious.

We came for lunch today (05.01.25) for the 1st time. Unfortunately the service was rushed & we didn’t feel valued as customers. Staff smiles were fake. Maybe they felt we didn’t order ‘enough’ food however we were drinking cocktails so our bill wasn’t a small one. Food was nicely presented & tasted nice. But I won’t be coming back.

Super quick and super tasty food.

Probably the best Thai food I have ever had! The massaman curry was truly delicious as was the papaya salad. Can’t wait to go back and try some other dishes! 100% recommend.

Best flavour experience in all of London

Favourite Thai place in London! Keep coming back again and again and there is always something else to try and it’s always delicious. Staff is always amazing and the place is beautifully decorated!

Probably been here like 5-6 times, never fail to amuse me how authentic, flavourful and unique the flavours are here. “Fish” in red curry sauce, the meaty tom yum soup are my absolute favorites. Portions for the main dishes are huge, we usually go for a curry, a soup, stir fry sharing for 2 and barely can finish.

Service is great and quick. We were very happy because the dishes taste great and the place is very cozy, so I wanted to leave a top review. However, a few hours after eating there, I still feel heavy and bloated, which makes me think that the food must’ve been very heavy and oily.

Unbelievable food and really nice decor and service inside, food prepared to really high level, highly recommend

A very cosy Thai place tucked away in a side street serving all vegan options which are great for my vegetarian friends! Walked in at 5:30pm and got a table right away as the place has just opened. Ordered the butterfly pea iced drink which is served with a slice of lime and it’s not only refreshing but a very fun drink to watch it turned from blue to purple after squeezing in some lime juice. My friends ordered the drunken noodles (which the spiciness can be adjusted) and pad thai while I went for the chick pea massaman curry with rice berry rice (a whole grain purple rice). The food arrived quickly and all very tasty especially my curry. Very attentive service too which makes the dining experience even more pleasant and I definitely will return to dine again if I am in the area!

It’s hard to find a truly remarkable Thai restaurant let alone a vegan one. We stumbled upon Mali by chance on a dreary London day and what a fantastic experience it was. Staff were friendly and the pictures draping the walls were nostalgic. Food arrived extremely quickly and although I normally dislike Thai food, I was surprised by the flavours on display. The Massaman curry was the standout with its sunset-like vibrance and creamy flavour. The drunken noodles with mock duck was also a great dish.

Everything is delicious 🤤😋 Staff are very friendly

Had the most delicious meal here. Have come here many times and it is just one of my favourite restaurants. Lovely staff and ambience and SO DELICIOUS.

I was working in London and accidentally and luckily discovered this amazing restaurant hidden at Earls Court. Now every time I come to London I make sure to visit and try something different on the menu. Staff are friendly and the food amazing for a vegan! Cannot recommend enough!

We came here due to many recommendations from people we know and we were not disappointed. The food was insanely good, beautiful aromatic flavours and presented wonderfully. We had the chive cakes, the satay tofu and mushrooms, the fried fish red Thai curry ( which was incredible) and the northern curried noodles which came in a delicious sauce! Definitely returning and will definitely recommend!

I had a takeaway so didn’t sit inside but the atmosphere when I went to collect was great. The food was absolutely delicious and the price good too. My takeaway was ready for me in 10-15 mins.

We are only half way through our order and it is already a-mazing!!!! Everything is so fresh and fragrant and tasty! We are not even vegan!

Incredible food. Everything we ordered was really good! Also great service and atmosphere, will definitiely return!

I am not vegan or vegetarian but I can say with 100% confidence that you will not miss meat at this restaurant. I would describe this as a superb thai restaurant that happens to not use meat. The meat substitutes they use are insanely good and of course the dishes using veggies were equally good. We had a large selection of starters - all were delicious, chive fritters, papaya salad etc. I was in a large group and everyone really enjoyed the mains. We had the red curry with fried fish dish - you would absolutely not tell you weren't eating fish and the curry was so good. another standout was the yellow curry noodle dish with (fake) beef brisket - texture of the beef substitute was insanely close to the real deal and the curry and noodles were spot on. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. The menu is quite large so there is a lot to choose from and I am sure that it is all good!

Excellent place for vegan Thai cuisine, lots of options and everything delicious

So so good! Food was amazing, and the place is designed really well too.

Really great restaurant. Great dishes, all perfectly seasoned. Despite special requests, the food was prepared surprisingly quickly. All the staff were very polite and competent: they were familiar with the menu and possible allergens and were very helpful. We liked it so much that we ate there two days in a row.

We managed to get a last minute booking at Mali on a Saturday on a recent trip into Central London. Staff were very friendly and attentive throughout and the food was amazing. Decor was very good even in bathrooms! I would recommend this place for vegans and non vegans. For mains we had the pad kee mao and pla tip pad prik both dishes were very flavoursome. If only we lived closer we could visit more often.

I would like to give the food 100 stars. Simply so delicious, whether it's a starter, main course or dessert. And the service was to die for. Would come back at any time.

Very good vegan Thai. Its too expensive tho

Delicious food with warm and friendly staff :) Glad that there’s a fully vegan restaurant!

We had the best dinner at Mali today, exellent service, delicious food and cool place, we couldn't belive it's all vegan!! highly recommended!

Small but nice. Very tasty food.

If you are looking to try different mock meats within authentic Thai cuisine, then Mali is the best place for you. The menu at Mali is very vibrant and the food is flavourful. As per my Thai friends, the taste at Mali is quite exquisite. About the place - Located in a small alley of Earls court very cosy place and the staff is very sweet. The staff being from Thailand is good at recommending dishes and aim at giving you a great experience.

The food was delicious and arrived incredibly fast

Rude behaviour, denied seating and service on walk-in even if there were several empty tables and available bookings on the website. Never going to visit a place which doesn't respect customers

Incredibly fast food! Our order was all with us within minutes - it was unbelievable 😂 very flavoursome and good. Only downside was the portions being on the small side.

Lovely vegan restaurant, amazing food and very efficient and welcoming service. I highly recommend it 👌

The Tom Kha was a religious experience. Also had spring rolls which were sooo good. The service was super quick. I’ve never had such a good experience with Thai Food. Great place for vegans and non vegans aswell.

Food was great! Well seasoned, flavorful, and even surprised me as I had never had grapes in a red curry before (surprisingly delicious). The portions are small and the food is pricey, hence the four stars. Despite this, the food came out quick and service was decent.

I thought the food here was really good. I wasn’t able to try the vegan meats due to allergies, so got the massman curry and it was great.

Delicious fresh vegan food. I enjoyed the Thai green curry with purple rice and papaya salad.

The food is so so good. Definitely the best Thai food we’ve had in London by far. Highly recommend the pad Thai, fish red curry, yellow curry and skewers. The service is excellent as well as the interior. Perfect experience, will be back

Luckily this restaurant is very close to my hotel. A hidden gem for sure! The food is so good!

A really beautiful space with a gracious staff. The takeaway was delicious! I had the Satay and the Pad Thai. It was wonderful to find a delightful vegan restaurant.

Delicious food and great staff, managed to find a table for us in between bookings when it was completely full.

Can’t say enough good things about Mali Vegan Thai! The flavours are incredible, every dish was fresh and felt authentic. I took my Thai mother who is not vegan and she LOVED it. We’ll definitely be back.

Not as good as expected , it was just OK Food came out too quick, dumplings had an overpowering taste of wheat gluten. Nothing was memorable ,sorry won't be rushing back

I was skeptical about vegan thai but the taste is so unique, I can’t wait to eat again there

It's a hidden gem in Earl's Court, where I went to celebrate my friend's birthday. The food was good, though the veggies in my dish had a slightly bitter taste. I also had a Thai cocktail, which was delicious. The service was quick, and the place was clean. I’ll definitely go back again!

Their vegan thai dishes has the same authentic and delicious taste as the meat based alternative: this place deserves a Michelin Star.

You will not leave disappointed, an excellent thai restaurant. I never leave reviews but this this restaurant deserves praise

Delicious- whether or not you’re vegan, this food is amazing!

Wooow! Best vegan food I’ve ever had!

Delicious Thai vegan food that you can trust!

A hidden gem at earl courts. Really friendly and cute place, amazing food. The dessert was delicious. It’s a mango ice cream with something else soooo good.

The environment is pleasant, calm, organized, clean. I really liked the friendly and efficient service. The service is very fast. I was very indecisive when ordering, as there are many interesting dishes that look tasty. I didn't have much luck with my order: Sam Moo Tip Kua Prik accompanied by rice. The dish had a very strong flavor of coriander and pepper, which made it difficult to taste the ingredients. A shame, because it's an interesting dish. For dessert, I tried Kao Neaw I-Tim Mamuang, with a very tasty mango ice cream, sweet glutinous rice and coconut jelly cube. Very good! The price is ok, London standard and fair for what it offers.

Took my parents here a while ago and it was such an amazing experience. The restaurant is a small tucked away gem in Earl's Court and the vibe is immaculate, the food is stunning and the service was amazing. I'd be eating here a lot more regularly if it wasn't so far away!

Very great restaurant with a nice atmosphere. A little hidden so you can't see it when walking past. The food was very tasty, the service was quick and friendly! A must for vegetarians and/or vegans in London!

It’s an all vegan restaurant. It is a delightful experience. We had made reservation but had to wait for around 25 minutes before being seated inside. For this reason we were offered complementary drinks and one dessert which was very kind and a great customer service. Every dish was so tasteful. I think it’s one of the best vegan restaurants I have ever visited. The staff is very courteous and polite. Service is excellent. A not to miss place. Parking available.

Great address. Very tasty dish (Kao Soi Nuea) and delicious. Quality welcome and very fast service. We waited no more than 10 minutes before being served. Alright.

SO GOOD! Billiant flavours and textures, reasonably priced, and really nice staff and atmosphere. It's also beautiful. Feels like a hidden treasure that me and my friend were lucky to find

It is great to go this restaurant and not have to worry about what dish to have for vegetarians like me. Simply put I would have any of the dishes without a second thought as they are all delicious.Highly recommended

High level flavors and service, recommended!
